Huawei will be holding a press event next month in Berlin called "Night Catcher" where the Chinese manufacturer is expected to publicly unveil the Honor 9 smartphone. In the meantime, TENAA documents have surfaced showing three unannounced Honor smartphones with the model names STF-AL00, STF-TL10, and STF-AL10 that appear to be SKUs of the Honor 9.

According to the source, all three of the above models will each sport a 5.15-inch FHD display, MicroSD slot, 3100 mAh internal battery, and a 2.4 GHz octa-core SoC that will presumably be the Kirin 960 as found on the high-end Huawei P10 and Mate 9 smartphones. The SKUs will instead differ by the amount of RAM (4 GB to 6 GB) and likely storage space as well. Multiple color options in Blue and Gold are also possible as with the Honor 8. Interestingly, the thickness of the new chassis will purportedly be the same as the Honor 8 at 7.45 mm.

Outside of these latest revelations, existing rumors have suggested dual rear cameras with 20 MP and 12 MP sensors for the unannounced Honor smartphone. A launch price of around 500 Euros is likely since this was the launch price of the Honor 8 last year.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s.
